This research aims to tackle complex multi-objective integrative optimization problems prevalent in various industries.
PhD Fellowship Position in Artificial Intelligence with Quantum Computing
Designation:
PhD Fellowship
Research Area:
The research focuses on developing multi-objective quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms tailored for classical computers. The aim is to enhance decision-making processes by effectively solving NP-hard optimization problems using novel methodologies.
Location:
Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway
Eligibility/Qualification:
- Master’s degree in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Applied Mathematics, or a related field (120 credits ECTS).
- An academic profile that is suited to the needs of the research group and department.
- Excellent communication skills in English, both oral and written.
- Minimum average grade of B on master’s degree subjects.
- Minimum grade of B on the master’s thesis.
- Admission to the doctoral program in Innovation for Sustainability at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design is required within three months of employment.
Job Description:
This position is offered as a 3-year (100% research) or 4-year (75% research, 25% other career-advancing work) role. The research will focus on:
- Formulating and implementing a multi-objective QEA to address complex, real-world optimization challenges.
- Bridging the gap in existing QEAs designed for single optimization problems and adapting them for classical computing environments.
- Contributing significantly to the theoretical and practical advancements in multi-objective evolutionary algorithms.
The chosen candidate is expected to complete the PhD program within the specified timeframe.
